@StevejMchugh Agreed. I have used the word Ambitious. A lot of things worked well for me. Some not so much, but I thought it was just fun to be in the galaxy on a different timeline.
If Indiana Jones met the Dishonoured video game franchise you'd have something like Silverblood by @SpecHorizons. This book is the definition of rip-roaring and a must-read for fans of fast-paced adventure fantasy. If nothing else read it for Flea, the urchinest of urchins

Recently, I was feeling like a shitty reviewer since I took several ARCs with no reviews yet -- both privately from authors and a publisher. It's been months.
Then I saw someone was 1 starring reviews for books because they didn't get a free copy.
Suddenly I'm not so shabby
@tomlloydwrites When I read GOT I have to keep my phone next to me to keep looking people up... I mean 20 new characters every 100 pages is a little excessive! 😆
Book Confession: I am really intimidated by the dramatis personae at the beginning of books... Do I study it? I don't want to miss anything!!! Do I wait and use it as a reference for later?? OMG that's a lot of characters!!!
Thoughts?
